2) Or, more responsibly, you could have a look at mcop-tika to find out what it is. If you can normally run Konquerer as root, it's usually something you've changed, or a leftover temp file from another process.
The files shown in de tmp/mcop-tika dir are:
an empty “artsd-samples; 6 Arts-.. txt-files; a socket for my cable internet connection and a txt-file named secret-cookie”
Everything is routed through the user. Is there a file in here that doesn't belong there?
In an other forum i encountered the following suggestion:
"mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding
/tmp/mcop-tika is not owned by user"
# ssh -X -l root localhost
The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is ********
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?"
I wonder if this fixes my problem? But i don't dare to try it. Does anybody know if this could fix the problem or make it worse?
I am currently experiencing the same thing. It appeared to start hapenning after I messed around with the soundserver.
also did you find out what this does?
# ssh -X -l root localhost
The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.

No rjwright i still can't operate konqueror as root > i.e. the File Manager the way it should. Tried all the things, but don't want to head into rigorous measurer's.
I finally got it to work by renaming the /tmp/mcop-* directory but then other things started happening so I named it back and it crashed out my X session, I rebooted and things were still weird so I deleted the directory all together and then it magically re appeared, things are working ok now but I still can't run konqueror as root, sigh
